The unique optical properties of Se2- radicals located in the cages of the sodalite structure are reported. By means of luminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and absorption spectroscopy, three different centers are identified. Two of them are Se2- anions in sites with presumably a tetrahedral Na4(4+) coordination and a Na3(3+) environment with cation deficiency, respectively, giving rise to a red luminescence band with two different progressions. The third center is the intermediate Se2 molecule, created photochemically by UV laser excitation. It induces an additional blue luminescence. The electronic properties of the Se2- centers, particularly in the excited states, are significantly influenced by steric constraints imposed by the limited space in the sodalite host polyhedra. Thus, the sodalite structure can be viewed as a model system for studying effects of this kind on chromophores imbedded in the cages of the zeolite-type lattice.
